Bergwijn ticks that box, able to play on either flank, and had been flagged by United’s scouts prior to Solskjaer taking over.

However, the 45-year-old still intends to have Bergwijn watched in PSV’s upcoming matches against FC Emmen and Groningen before deciding whether to pursue the transfer before the window closes.

The 21-year-old has enjoyed an excellent season for PSV, who top the Eredivisie table, scoring nine goals and laying on a further seven assists in just 16 outings – only three players have had a hand in more goals.

Liverpool are believed to have watched Bergwijn earlier this season and United could struggle to prise him away from PSV midway through the season, with the Dutch champions desperate to keep him.
